A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Howdy Rules Team! Thanks for being awesome!
Quick Question:
If I have Yodo Sensei and purchase Small-time Bully, which dishonors an enemy personality, do I gain 1 honor?
Cheers!
Small-Time Bully: After you Recruit this Holding, if you control a Courtier or Magistrate, you may dishonor a Personality.
Yodo Sensei: After your action dishonors another player's Personality, gain 1 Honor.

I feel like I should warn you for editorializing, but thanks for the compliment
Small-Time Bully's dishonoring comes from a trait, not an action. Therefore it will not trigger Yodo Sensei (yes, this disappointed me too)
